Marc's place is still standing. Burned all around him, right up to his lawn but didn't touch his house. I'm sure when he stops the happy dance, he'll be by to tell you all about it and share some pics.

Thanks for helping a really nice guy.

This news just made my day (thank you Mr.Bob)...

Reply #30 - Sep 9^th, 2011 at 1:53pm Kudos to Marc for having his property well cleared. Definately made it easy for the FD to defend. Such a blessing for Marc and his family. So sad that there was such devistation to all his neighbors.

Pretty amazing to me, but a friend of a friend is fireman who grabbed a shot of our house.

There may be some burn on the right side that can't be seen here - don't know because we still can't get closer than 1 mile. We have been warned that virtually all of the homes around us are flat.

Again, I thank all of you folks!

Marc that is absolutely fantastic - and miraculous! I kept telling you - smoke damage LOL - I hope everyone else has had the same result. Have you heard from Steve? Did the fires get up to him? Tracey told me on Friday that they had a fire there and the flames got within 20 yards of the house - she was pretty resigned to losing the house, but somehow they escaped the flames as well! Of course, she was still IN the house!! Crazy Texans - the lot of ya! lol

I'm so so glad - and I can't thank you enough for taking time out of your nightmare to reach out a helping hand - folks you may not know it - but during all this unknown roller coaster that Marc was riding, he took time out to talk to me on the phone and get Alex set up with welding Oxygen because he doesn't have access to medical O2 in AZ at the moment.

How's that for an incredible guy?

Thanks Marc, good things happen to good people. Smoke Damage Wink

*hugs*
Cat

p.s. a big thank you to everyone else who was trying to help Alex as well

Some windows on the North side of our home are heat cracked, the roof is scalloped from heat but no burn-through holes. It didn't get too hot inside the house because candles didn't melt down (these go down at 128-130 degrees)

All of the roads are closed and very heavily guarded with local, state and fed officers. I heard rumors that there are two very pissed off young deputies who need to practice riding their quads so that they can keep up with some fat old man seen riding through the woods away from my house on an ancient 650 thumper.

Now I can sleep.
